Careless Love

Words & Music:

W. C. (William Christopher) Handy

 

C        G                 C-F-C

Love, oh love, oh careless love.

C                          G-G7

Love, oh love, oh careless love.

C        C7       F

Love, oh love, oh careless love,

    C        G                 C-F-C

You see what careless love can do.

 

Once I wore my apron low.

Once I wore my apron low.

Once I wore my apron low.

You'd follow me through rain and snow.

 

Now I wear my apron high.

Now I wear my apron high.

Now I wear my apron high.

You see my door and pass me by.

 

Cried last night and the night before.

Cried last night and the night before.

Cried last night and the night before.

Gonna cry tonight and cry no more.

 

Love, oh love, oh careless love.

Love, oh love, oh careless love.

Love, oh love, oh careless love.

You see what careless love has done.
